A Dog Called Hope: A Wounded Warrior and the Service Dog Who Saved Him
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Lone Survivor meets Marley & Me in this "inspiring and very moving" (Bear Grylls, host of the hit TV show Man vs. Wild) memoir of an extraordinary service dog whose enduring love brought a wounded soldier back to life.
A decade ago, special forces warrior Jason Morgan parachuted into the Central American jungle on an antinarcotics raid. He'd served with the famous Night Stalkers on countless such missions. This one was different. Months later, he regained consciousness in a U.S. military hospital with no memory of how he'd gotten there. The first words he heard were from his surgeon telling him he would never walk again. The determined soldier responded, "Sir, yes, I will."
After multiple surgeries, unbearable chronic pain, and numerous setbacks, Morgan was finally making progress when his wife left him and their three young sons. He was a single father confined to a wheelchair and tortured by his pain. At this very dark, very low point, Morgan found light: Napal, the black Labrador who would change his life forever.
A Dog Called Hope is the incredible story of a service dog who brought a devastated warrior back from the brink and taught him how to be a true father. It is the story of Napal, who built bridges between his wheelchair-bound battle buddy and the rest of able-bodied humankind. It is the story of Jason, who found life's true meaning with the help of his faithful companion. Humorous, intensely moving, and uplifting, Jason and Napal's heartwarming tale will brighten any day and lift every heart.

Morgan, with cowriter Lewis (The Dog Who Could Fly) tells his recovery story. A former Air Force Special Forces member from Texas, he suffered horrific injuries during an antinarcotics raid in Ecuador. Several months later, he regained consciousness in a U.S. military hospital and was told he would never walk again. After multiple surgeries and numerous setbacks, he was making some progress when his wife left him and their three young sons. Meanwhile, in California, wheelchair-bound Jim Siegfried was raising his third service dog, a supersmart black Labrador puppy named Napal. Siegfried knew that the intelligent and loyal Napal should be placed with a special human; through Canine Companions for Independence, Napal and Morgan became a team. Napal brought Morgan back from the brink of despair, changed his life forever, and helped heal the whole family. Morgan now participates in Paralympics sports and has raised awareness of service dogs for veterans. VERDICT Morgan's heroic fortitude creates an upbeat narrative, and similar to Luis Carlos Montalvan's Until Tuesday, this bittersweet memoir is truly inspiring.--Eva Lautemann, Gwinnett Cty. P.L., GA
